the same as given in the case of Mr. O'Brien
only that he made some admissions regard
ing his past career, which are anything but

leader, escaped from Bonmahov, County of
Waterford, on Wednesday, and that he effec

The Oilier Prisoners.
The city calendar contains the following
names, from which it will be observed that
Mr Gavun Dufy is to bo tried for felony, and
not for high treason.
"Charles Gavau Duffy, aged 32, felony, by
publishing the Nation; Richard Dalton Wil

I'RANCE.
'Ihe Constitution.
The Assembly proceeded on Ihe 18lh at an
extraordinary rate of speed with Ihe Consti.
tution. The articles of iho 8th chapter, on
the judiciary power, from 93 to 105, were
adopted without discussion. Passing over
the 9th, 10th aud 11th chapters, which are
' .. . u,c
short, the discussion was taken on Ihe 12th
. ,. , ' . ' '"
onunuuig oi mis rale me constitution will
be voted in a few days.
It is intended to get through the remaining
articles of the Constitution with us much des
patch as possible. M. Marrast, the Presi
dent, and M. Dufaure, who may now be con
sidered us the leader of the house, have
agreed upon this, and it is accordingly ex
pected that the Constitution will be voted be
fore the 24th inst. The revision, which must
take place before it is declared, will not be
of long duration. Few of the numerous a-
mendments will produce much debate. The
most serious of them is that of M. St. Priest,
which proposes that votes of urgency, which;
are equivalent to the suspension of our stand
ng orders, can only bo carried by two-thirds
at least of the members voting. It appears
likely that this amendment will be accepted
by the Committee.
Bampiett of the Red Republicans.
The system of agitation by banquets,
which hits just been inaugurated at the Bar

ment in. all circles. Tho' doctrines openly

can scarce bo conceived by those who are
not present to witness with their ears and

Mort Trouble. '
M. Duoou.r, Perfect of Police, has addressed
the following letter to Gen. Cavaignae :
"To the President of the Council of Minis
ters: V
"Citizen President : You have just con
stituted a Ministry which, in my eyes, is the
personification of the counter-revolution. The
Republio is about to be directed, after eight
months of existence, by men who have at
all times employed their intelligence and
their efforts to prevent its existence. The
policy is, perhaps, able; but I do not eom
prehend it, and I still less approve of it. "" '
"In presence of the dangers which threaten
liberty in France, while it is triumphing in
Germany, I go to resume my place among
the adversaries of loyalty, whom I shall com
bat under whatever disguise. All the sol
diers of Democracy ought to be at their posts,
and mine is no longer where my political
sympathies have ceased to be.
"Pleaso to give me a successor. Salut et
fraternits.
"The Perfect of Police, Ducoux."
General Cavaignae has complied with M.
Ducoux's request to give him a successor.
Vienna and its Besiegers Three Days Alarm.
The state of tho city on the 1 1th, 11th and
12th is thus described in letters published in
tho Breslau Gazette :
"Tho drums are beating, and the alarm is

Preparations for War.
The Austrian army, under Radetsky, at
present consists of 130.000 men, of which
100,000 are ready to take Ihe field. The
effective force of the Piedmontese army ut
present does not much exceed 40,000 men,
20,000 of which are under the command of
the Duke of Savoy. Tho field artillery of
Radetsky amounts to 290 guns; that of Charles
Albert to only 40.
Charles Albert has notified to the French
and Knglisn Governments his intention of re
suming hostilities forthwith in case the medi
tation docs not products immediate results.
He has received very cold replies from both
Governments, sufficiently so to cause him to
hesitate before against assuming the offen

Triumph of the Carlistt.
A correspondent, writing from Madrid, on
tho 8th iust. says : An important triumph
has been gained by the Carlists in Catalonia,
near Manresa. Tho column of the royal
troops commanded by Colonel Bon lil, 200 and
odd strong, were caught on tho night of the
1st in a snare laid by the Cabecilla Posas, in
the Coll Davi, between Manresa and Terra
so. Bonfil was mortally wounded, forty pri
soners were taken, and the greater part of the
column destroyed. Posas, having united a
much superior force at the Coll, threw out a
bout thirty of his men to draw on the column
which swallowed the bait, and gradually be-
i came engaged in tho defile. Then the mass
i of the faction fell upon them, and intercep
! ling rstreat, did fearful execution among Ihe
' panic-struck ranks. Lights were hung out
i all night from the tower of the church of Tar-
i rasl to guide the dispersed soldiers, but only

The Cholera.
The accounts respecting Ihe extent of
Cholera in Amsterdam were, we are happy
to find, much exaggerated, inasmuch as at
the date of our last advices, only 7 persons
had been attacked, but of these, 4 cases had
been fatal. The funds in that city are de
pressed.
Gi n. Kearney married in the West, and
leaves a widow and several children, with
little other inheritance, we fear, than his il
lustrious name and virtues. He was, with
Gen. Scott, made prisoner at Queenstown, in
1812.

Bf,OOIY TRAOEDY.
Three men Killed and several Wounded.
The town of Yellville, in Marion county, Ar
k nn mis, on Inst Monday week, (says the Bate-
ville Eagle) wan the senno of one of the most
frightful and disgraceful rencontres that we
have ever known.
We would premise that, for mahy years.
there has been waged, between the Tult
and their friends, on the one part, and the
Everctts Rnd their friends, on the other,
mostly deadly feud. The war between the
Montagues and Capulets did not begin to e
qnal it.
It seems that a man named Mooney, who
belongs to tho Everett wing, was badly bea
ten some three or four weeks since ; and that
the Everctts and Mooney got up a kind of
ogreement among themselves, by which they
and their adherents formed themselves into
a regulating party, and had declared that the
Kings, Shell, Williams, ond Hampton Tutt
must leave the country.
On Monday they all met at Yellville. Hamp
ton Tutt has a store there, and was pruilen
enough to keep nut of the way. He knew
that a row would be raised, and that they
would, if possible, kill him. Jesse Turner,
Est)., spoke there that day, and after the
speaking, the two parties, armed to tho teeth
had some words, and drew up in bottle nrra
but the matter was quieted, and no out
break took place, lowanls evening, am!
when the people had pretty generally left for
home, the fight commenced. A man by the
name of Wadkins, of the Everett party, shot
down Jack Kinn. At the same time, Sim
Everett, fired at Sinclair, and missed him
Sinclair returned the shot and mortally woun
ded Everett. King's brother was shot at by
Barlett Everett, the ball grazing his shoulder
he in turn shot Bart. Everett dead in h
tracks. After Sim. Everrett was shot, ho sra
thered a rock, and pursued Sinclair ; but
finding King, who had been shot in the be
ginning of the fight, he turned on him and
mashed his skull in a shocking manner, and
expired while in the act. King lived until
morning.
Wadkins was badly beaten. He was taken
into custody ; but made his escape that night.
It is to be hoped that the people of Marion
will unite in putting down these deeds of
blood. We fear, however, that the matter
is not at an end.
ATROCIOL'S EXECVTIOX.
The ''Comercio del Plala;' of Montevideo,
gives the following revolting account of the
execution of an Irish Priest and young v?omun
whom he had edneed :
A priest, named Gutierrez, ex-curate of the
parish of Socorros, in Buenos Ayres, seduced
a young girl of 22, named Camilla O'Gorman,
the daughter of respectable parents, and fled
with her in disguise to the province of Corri-
entes, where they remained unsaved in
teaching school until discovered and denoun
ced by an Irish priest, named Gannon. Guti
errez was immediately conducted, together
with the young girl, from Goya to Rosario, in
a vessel bound to Rio, and after remaining
there for a few days, exposed to all the mal
ice and calumny and insult, were brought be
fore Rotas, and both condemned to death.
Finding that Camilla was enciente, aud un
willing to postpone her execution one short
month, it was ordered that the child should
be baptized, and the order was accomplished
by pouring, in a spirit of mockery, holy water
down the mother's throat.
As they were being taken with their eyes
bandaged to the place of execution, Gutier
rez asked, who was walking at his side and
Camilla replied : "It is I my child has been
christened aud I am now content to die. Do
not grieve for me."
So great was the horror felt at Ihe atrocious
sentence, that even the soldiers at Santos Lu
gares, accustomed, as they were, to scenes of
butchery, recoiled as the order to fire upon
Ihe victims was given. One of the execu
tioners fainted, and another, while aiming at
Camilla, turned aside his head. They were
obliged to fire three discharges before the
act was fully consummated. At the first
fire, Camilla was untouched, at the second
hu was only slightly wounded, and at the
third she fell.
What must have been the feelings of Ihe
father of the wretched girl, and the Irish
priest, Gannon, the former of whom had in
formed Rosas of his daughter's flight imme
diately on its discovery, and nad procured a
search to be instituted for the fugitives.
Camilla O'Gorman, who, had she lived,
would now have accomplished her 23d year,
was au excellent pianist and singer. The
execution took place on Friday, August 18th,
at 10 A. M., and the bodies of the lovers
were placed in a box made for the purpose.
California Gold. A gentleman recently
arrived at St. Louis from California, with
two lumps of gold, reported to be worth $2000.
JOURNAL.
TUB LATE OCfl. KEARNEY.
We published, in our last weeks paper, the
intelligence of Gen. Kearney's death. We
now give a more extended biography of him
which we copy front the second volume of
"The Military Heroes of the United States."
Qtaaral Kramer.
Was born in Newark, New Jersey, about
the year 1792, and was pursuing his studies
at Columbia College, New York, when the
war of 1812 broke out. He immediately
left the institution, and entered the army as
First-Lientenant of the thirteenth infantry,
then onmmanded by Wool. Under this he
roic leader he marched to the Canada fron
tier; fought at Queenstown heights; and was
taken prisoner with Scott and other officers,
Being soon after exchanged, he rejoined his
old regiment, and served through the war
with credit.
On the conclusion of peace, Kearney re
mainod in the army. The next twenty years
of his lifo were spent chiefly at frontier posts
but the time was not wnsted, for Kearney be
ing a close student, wnsdaily perfecting him
self in the knowledge of his profession. He
soon acquired the reputation of being one of
the most rigid diciplinanans and best tacli
cians in the service. His coolness in difficult
emergencies nassed into a proverb. No man
could be braver when danger was abroad
His rise was slow, however, the result of
long peace. A Major in 1824, he became
Lieutenant-Colonel in 1833, and a full Colonel
in 1836. When the first regiment of dragoons
was organized in 1833, he was charged with
its discipline, a task which ho executed in
the ablest manner ; indeed, the cavnlry arm
of Ihe service may bo considered as indebted
lo Kearney for all that it is. He prepared a
system of tactics, instructed the officers, and
inspired the corps with his own heroism.
In 1839, when a frontier war was nnticipa
ted, Kearney was ordered to Fort Wayne, to
overawe the Cherokees. He had now under
his command, for the first lime, a full regi
ment of ten companies. Ho subsequently
made many long marches thiough the various
Indian territories, acquiring a fund of valua
ble information for the government, and dis
seminating a wholesome respect for the flag
which he represented. He had, during the
years 1835 and 1836, penetrated to the head
of the Mississippi, aud to the Rocky Moun
tains, on which occasions, ulso, he had left a
strong impression among the savages, of the
power and energy of the United States. The
Indians called him tho "horse-chief of the
long knives." These journeys materially as
sisted to improved the condition and disci,
pie of his dragoons.
When the war with Mexico began, the
President determined to send an expedition
against New Mexico and California, and
Kearney was selected to command the troops
raised for this enterprise. Accordingly, he
assembled his forces, principally consisting
of volunteers, at Fort Leavenworth, in Jnne)
1846, and on the 30lh of that month, began
his march for Santa Fe, at the head of about
sixteen hundred men. For six weeks he tra
versed the vast wilderness which stretches
between the last civilized settlement on the
Missouri, and the first one a similar character
in New Mexico. He reached his destination
in August, without opposition. Having for
mally taken possession of Santa Fe, he pro
ceeded to declare New Mexico annexed to
tho United States. He next drew up a form
of government for it, and superintended the
election of a Governor and proper authorities
He now considered his work in this province
finished, and prepared to advance on Cali
fornia, pursuant to his instructions, only wait
ing for the arrival of Colonel Price from Fort
Leavenworth, with the thousand volunteers,
whom Kearney had left behind in his eager
ness to advance. At last, on the 25th of
September, he moved from Santa Fe for Cali.
fornia, with about four hundred dragoons, but
after having marched one hundred and seventy-five
miles, he met an express, with Ihe
news of Fremont's conquest of that country.
He now sent back most of his little army, re
taining only one hundred dragoons as nil es
cort. When Kearney reached the river liila, in
California, he learned that lhe province had
revolted, and that the Americans had been
expelled from Los Angelos, Ihe principal city
in the south. On the 2d of December he ar
rived at the first settlement in California,
where the news of Ihe insurrection was con
firmed. Four days afterwards, he fell in with
a body of the enemy, somewhat superior in
numbers, whom after a sharp action, he to
tally routed, lu this skirmish. Kearney was
wounded severely, und would have been
killed, but for Lieutenant Emory, who vhot
his antagonist just as he was about to make
a second thrust with the lance. Kearney ad
vauced about nine miles, when, being assail
ed by the Californians again, he seized t
neighboring hill, and held il until Commo
dure Stockton, four days after, sent him i
reinforcement of seventy-five marines and
one hundred seamen. In these two skir
mishes Kearney fought under great advan
tages, his men being mounted on broken
down mules, while the egemy had superb
horses. Two days after he was succeeded,
Kearney reached Sau Diego, where he found
Coinmodure Stockton.
Having ascertained that the insurgents
were still at Los Angelos, where they num
bered seven hundred, under the command of
General Flores, the two American leaders
resolved to march, with their combined for
ces, and dislodge him. Accordingly, with
about seven hundred men, and sit pieces of
artillery, they left San Diego, and proceeded
to meet the enemy, the united force being
under command of General Kearney. On
the 8th of January he came up with the Cali
fornians, who, with four guns, were drawn
up on a height on the opposite side of the
river. Kearney instantly formed his troops
in order of battle, aud placing himself daunt
lessly at their head, forded the stream, storm
ed the height, and gained a complete victory.
The action lasted about an hour and a half
By the following day, however, the Californi
ans had recovered their spirits, and, on Kearn
ey's resuming his advance, showed them
selves in his front and on his flanks. When
he had descended from the heights, and
reached the plains of the Mesa, the artillery
opened upon him, and soon after, concen
trating their columns, the Californians furious-
ly assailed his left flank. Their charge how I
ever, was decisively repulsed, on which they
took to flight. The next day Kearney entered
Los Angelos in tiiumph. 7
A difficulty now arose between Commo
dore Stockton and General Kearney in refer
ence to "the civil authority in California.
Kearney produced tho commission of the
President of the United States, authorizing
him to act as Commander of the country and
Governor; and claiming1 submission from
Stockton in consequence of this document.
Stockton, however, asserted that, as the
country had been conquered before Kearney's
arrival, a condition of affairs had arisen
which the President had not foreseen, and in
consequence, it could not be expected that
he and Fremont, the real conquerors, should
be deprived of their power by an authority
virtually abrogated. Fremont took the same
view of the question as Stockton, and refused
obedience to Kearney. Unfoitunately, how
ever, Kearney was Fremont's superior officer,
and hence entitled to the latter's obedience,
irrespective of the special commission. Of
this he was soon reminded, for when Com
modore Shubrick arrived with California vol
unteers, Kearney, finding himself with a su
perior force, deposed Fremont, ordered him
to the United States, and, on his arrival there,
placed him under arrest.
Kearney did not continue long in Califor
nia after the arrival of Com. Shubrick. He
remained, however, until he considered the
province pacified and secure from further in
surrection. He then returned to the United
States, accompanied by Fremont.
Firm, skilful, brave as a lion, Kearney was
one of the most valuable officers in the line
of the army. His country acknowledged
this, through Iho President, by conferring on
him, on the 30th cf June, 1846, the rank of a
full Brigadier.
Thb California Gold Region. We have
received a letter dated "Harbor of La Paz,
August 18th, 1848," which confirms the
statements that have been published in re
gard to Ihe richness of the Gold Mines in
California. The writer says :
The Gold Mines are still creating a great
deal of excitement in Upper California The
accounts I had heard I thought were extrava
gant ; but some officers of the U.S. ship War
ren, which arrived here a few days ago from
Monterey, tell me that I can hardly hear any
accounts that are exaggercd. The richness
of the mines is astonishing, and as a const,
quenee, no person will work at ordinary busi
ness, for less than from 830 to $90 per day
not even to nail shingles'.
New Use kor Chloroform. A dashing
and beautiful lady threw her arms around a
gentleman in the streets of London, and lov
ingly pressed a hankerchief to his nose : he
remembered nothing more until ho awoke
two or three minutes after lying upon the
side-walk, with a policeman at his side, mi
nus his watch and five-pounds in money.
The handkerchief, it is supposed, was satu
rated with chloroform, which rendered him
insensible, and enabled the vixen to lob him
with impunity.
Important Postal Arrangement. The
Boston Advertiser, of yesterday, contains the
following important paragraph :
W e understand that letters were received
by the Hibernia, from Mr. Bancroft, United
Mates Minister at Loudon, announcing that
he had effected with the British government
a settlement of the difficulties in relation to
the postages by the British aud United States
mail steamers.
